Rosalyn
There was no breakfast late when you lived at the pack house. I mean, not unless you're willing to skip it altogether. And we are hungry like the wolf. Pun intended.
I get to the dining hall just before Emmett, as always. And I was the girl of the twins.
I go about preparing my plate when he dropped a bomb on us!
"Dads, I think I dreamed about my mate!" - Emmett said and I was floored.
"What?!" - I dropped my plate I was so upset. - "No, no, no..." - I started crying.
Daddy immediately got up from his seat and came to my side, he hugged me close. And kissed my temple.
"Are you serious, Emmett? This isn't something to joke about!" - Dad warned him in a somber tone.
"I would never joke about it, dad." - He replied, looking astonished. And yes, no one would ever joke about it. Dreams were not something we took lightly. Specially mate dreams!
"Who are they?" - Daddy asked. He was still by my side.
"I don't know." - He replied in a sad tone.
"Sorry son, that doesn't count." - Dad said and I exhaled. I was so relieved I was shaking.
"What do you mean, dad?" - Emmett was shook by dad's response. Daddy left me and went back to his seat, next to his mate.
"Son, unless they are in front of me, it doesn't count! Of course not, dreams don't count! It wasn't until Felix forced me to come out that my life started. At last!" - Dad blurted.
"Hey, I din't force you! I gave you a choice, it's not like I outed you!" - Daddy rebuked, annoyed. They were so adorable together.
"Don't remind me of the dream soap opera, Dan. It was months before your father told us he had dreamed about a boy. Our parents were losing their minds not knowing who it was!" - Aunt Denise chimed in. Dad glared at her.
"So, this person who you dreamed about is..." - Daddy started. But we all got what he wanted to know.
"I know what your asking, daddy. Sorry, she's a girl." - Emmett said with a relieved sigh. I laughed. No surprises there. If there's a straight guy I know, it's my brother. He may not have had sex yet, supposedly, but he probably already kissed half the school girl's population.
"But something strange happened in the dream." - He started as he frowned.
"What? Did she take your virginity?" - I snickered. He was not happy.
"Fuck you, Rosalyn!" - He spat at me. - "You're the biggest virgin I know!"
"Emmett, language! Rosalyn, leave your brother be!" - Daddy scolded us.
"Tell us, son." - Dad was curious.
"So, in the dream, we were playing sports but when we left for the locker room..."
"I see where this is going!" - Aunt Denise snickered. But dad was not laughing.
"Denise, shush. Continue, son." - Dad silenced her. He was at the edge of his seat.
"When we entered, she followed us inside. Me and the rest of the boys. But she didn't do anything. And they just teased her about it." - Emmett spoke in a somber tone.
"Oh my Goddess!" - Daddy shouted.
"Wait, do you know who she is?" - Dad asked him, looking surprised.
"No, I don't know who she is! I haven't been to a school since the last p.t.a. meeting!" - Daddy snickered.
"Then why did you..?" - Dad asked him, quizzically.
"I think I know what she is." - He said and we were looking at him, baffled.
"What? What do you mean what she is? You mean she's human?" - Emmett asked, puzzled.
"No son, sorry. Never mind! I spoke out of turn. I don't know anything about her." - He back tracked.
"What?! You sounded so sure..." - Emmett was disappointed.
"I know son, I'm sorry. I think I got carried away a little bit." - He replied in a sad tone.
After this much excitement at breakfast, warrior training was a breeze. I mean, not really. Have you met aunt Denise?
"What? Are you kidding me?" - John asked as he exercised.
"I would never joke about it. Trust me!" - Emmett replied in a serious tone, while he exercised as well.
"How does she look like?" - John asked, quizzically.
"I couldn't get a good look at her face. I just know she had blond hair and a petite build. Just the way I like it!" - Emmett drooled. Barf!
"Does she have big..." - John gesture breasts in his chest. I screamed at him.
"John, focus! Keep the drooling to a minimum, he doesn't even know who she is!" - I yelled. They both startled.
"Don't mind her! She's just jealous she's gonna lose Alpha!" - Emmett snickered.
"I'm not losing anything until she is in my presence and your eyes are black!" - I scoffed. I was pissed, can't hide. But I'll be damned if I'm gonna let this deter me.
"I'm gonna be Alpha, hurrah!" - He commemorated, looking dumb as he did jumping jacks.
"You do know school's out for another 2 months, right? Plenty of fish in the ocean till then!" - I snickered.
As I said this, it dawns on him that dream took place at school, which probably means he's not meeting her for at least another 2 months. At this realization, his mood completely shifted.
"Fuck, you're right!" - He stopped the jumping jacks and Denise scowled.
"I don't fucking care who's ascending! Get to the fucking exercise now! Or I will petition the Council to block your ascension!" - She yelled at him. Emmett was so scared he jumped in full force.
The Council is a group of prestigious elder werewolves of the pack. Former Alphas, Betas, Lunas and Deltas also make up the respected collegiate. It's up to the Council to oversee the work of the Alpha, Beta and Luna, including the pack's finances. And in case there's any irregularity, only the Council has the power to remove any of them from office. And yes, they also have the power to suspend or block our ascension as Alpha (or Beta) if there's any cause.
You can appeal of course, but if they don't reverse their decision, no one can. Literally.
Delta, like all warriors are immune from their authority, plus none of them deals with money or anything like that. Their job is to protect the pack. And they only answered to the Beta or Alpha.
"Sorry, Delta." - He mumbled.
"Sorry is the laps you're gonna run after you finish this! 2 laps around the territory. Go now!" - She spat. He ran.
Our compound was huge, by the time he'd get back would be already time to end training. I felt bad for him but I continued my exercises quietly. You don't want to antagonize the Delta, trust me. That's a lesson hard learned. Plus, she alone is in charge of our training. And if you don't train, you can't ascend. It's that serious! I mean, who is going to respect an Alpha without warrior training?! You have to be a soldier first, if you wanna make General.
After lunch, I took our car and drove John to another spot in town. I couldn't risk Emmett finding out about my business. He's already suspicious as it is.
"I know you're freaking out about this! Don't even try to put on a brave face!" - He started as we got off from the car to the open field.
"I won't. I was so freaked out, I barely had any breakfast. I dropped my plate when I heard him saying." - I admitted in a nervous tone.
"I'm sorry. I really am, I want you to be Alpha, especially if I am to have any shot at being Beta!" - He confessed. Not that I am surprised, his dad is the Beta. And we are a dynasty after all.
"I know but to be honest, I don't think it's gonna be me. I haven't dreamed about anybody... other than you." - I giggled at the last part. He opens a giant smile.
"You dreamed about me? When?" - He was curious as he grinned.
"A while ago. It was nothing much, just that we were... you know." - I replied, sheepishly.
"No, I don't know. Please tell me in details!" - He snickered. If its possible his smile opened even wider. I think he's distending a muscle or something.
"I can't, I'm sorry. A girl never kisses and tell." - I deflected.
"All right, you're no fun. But if you're down to..."
"John, your stench is distracting me! Think of something else, please." - I shut him down, hard.
"I'm sorry! I'm just jealous that I've never dreamed about it... I mean, while sleeping at least!" - He snickered. But I'm not amused.
"John, I mean it. Think of something else or I'll walk back to the car!" - I gave him an ultimatum, furiously.
"All Right! I'm sorry! How are your parents doing? You know, with the news?" - He changed the subject and I felt a little better.
I mean, sometimes the stench of his sexual desire intoxicates me. It blocks my thinking entirely. It's dangerous! I'm glad I can trust him to follow my lead. Or at least to respect my boundaries. That is obviously very important!
"They were shocked, obviously. Daddy Felix even said he knew what she was, which confused Emmett even more. But I think he meant that she's a human." - I told him. I was confused as well by his words.
"I can imagine the scene when he announced, you probably saw your life flashing before your eyes!" - He joked.
"I mean, I'm not gonna die if I don't ascend. But I take your point. You're not that far off!" - I croaked.
"So, your text said that Emmett was suspicious. Of what?" - He asked, curiously.
"He saw me arriving home and I guess he was intrigued cause he knows I don't go for walks, specially not alone. He didn't buy my response." - I told him, a little nervous.
"I get it. I wouldn't buy too." - He snickered.
"Well, we need to come up with better excuses. I half expect him to steal my phone and look at my texts." - I said with a cheeky smile.
"Really? Isn't your phone password protected?" - He asked, looking confused.
"That was a joke, dude! If he steals my phone, I'll petition the council to block his ascension myself!" - I snickered. He laughed. No council person in their right mind would take any petition of mine seriously, not unless I had proof my brother committed a crime. Our ascension competition is not exactly a secret.
"Pretty and funny. Who knew?" - He remarked. When he's like this is the most difficult to resist.
I move to kiss him and he put his arms around me. He was taller, though younger. Actually, he was just as tall as Emmett, which baffled me. He was 2 years younger than us and already had the body of a nordic god. I swooned.
We make out for a good while, but this time more behaved. I mean, he still was shirtless, I'm only a werewolf. But I kept it PG.
After we burnt enough calories...
"I need to get back. Before your mom sends a search party." - I joked.
"Said the only daughter of the Alpha. If there's any search party, it'll be for you!" - He snickered.
I laughed. I loved admiring him when he's talking about anything silly. Damn it!
"Rosalyn, are you listening to me?" - He snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Yes, I'm sorry, John." - I turned to look at him, a little shy.
"Your time will come, I'm sure. It's just that the..."
"Goddess can't be rushed, I know." - I interrupted him.
"But she always gets it right in the end!" - He continued with a smile.
I looked at his chiseled jawline and long blond hair. I don't know Goddess, with all do respect, how can you make it better than this, unless you send me an actual Hemsworth?
He caught me in my thoughts again. I was giggling to myself and...
"Rosalyn!" - He shouted.
"What?" - I asked, a little startled.
"I love you!" - He spoke and I was shocked, gobsmacked at his words.
